I really don't believe this is the real Melissa. She wouldn't say stuff like that. This one is her for sure: http://twitter.com/MelissaDWTS

I got this from Jokers:

Quote :

Melissa Rycroft has gotten high scores from the judges on Dancing With The Stars, and her professional partner, Tony Dovolani, says she's come a long way since she was dumped on national television by The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick.

Tony told us, "He sent her an email and stuff like that, but she's been pretty adamant about, like 'don't call me.' It was such a terrible experience and she wants to put it behind her. She's moved on in life, she's got a very, very nice boyfriend who's wonderful to her and I wish them all the best."

* Melissa was a last-minute replacement for television personality Nancy O'Dell, who dropped out the week before the season started. Dovolani said that after O'Dell was injured, he assumed she wouldn't be replaced, so he started packing to go home. His wife tried to cheer him up by saying, "Honey, I know you're sad, but looked what happened to Melissa on The Bachelor -- she got dumped on national TV!" Neither Tony nor his wife knew at that moment that the producers were planning to make Melissa his partner!

# For their routine on this week's Dancing With The Stars, Tony choreographed a fox trot in the style of a classic Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie musical.

# Tony wants everyone to remember to vote for them. He said that sometimes the audience will stop voting for a contestant who's dancing well, assuming they'll be safe for another week.

# Tony told us that fans who would like to have him as their virtual dance partner can visit BallroomDanceChannel.com for a dance lesson. There's also an iPhone app they can download if they want to fox trot on the go.

OK Jason .......... one supportive e-mail saying something like "You're doing great. Good luck, I hope you win it all" I can understand, but that's absolutely it! Leave the girl alone and go away.

DWTS' Melissa: There Are No Catfights! Melissa Rycroft continues to wow judges on Dancing With the Stars (on Monday, she earned a 27 for her foxtrot). But she says none of the other contestants -- including Holly Madison, who called Rycroft her "biggest threat" -- are jealous of her high scores.

"Everyone's main goal is to have fun, have a good time, make friends - and if there is a competition, it's a friendly competition," she told Usmagazine.com after the show. "There's nobody slashing other people's costumes backstage!"

Added partner Tony Dovolani, "It's not the world championship. This is the dancing show! Everyone's clapping for each other."

Maksim Chmerkovskiy fueled a mini DWTS feud earlier this season when he told TV Guide that "it's very unfair" that Rycroft, 25, is competing because "she was a cheerleader and did ballet."

Despite her background, Rycroft said her heart still races when she hits the dance floor.

"I came in so last minute, I think I was really naive to the pressure," said the Bachelor star, who replaced an injured Nancy O'Dell days before the show aired. "I came out like, 'I don't know what's out there!' And now that we've done this a few times, it's nerve-wracking! There's pressure to do better than you did the previous week."

On Monday's show, cameras followed Rycroft, a sales representative, as she returned to her Dallas hometown (with Dovolani) to say farewell to her co-workers.

"Just to see familiar faces, it was really nice!" she told Us. "They were a big part of my life ... and I don't ever want to lose them."

After the show finishes, "I'm going back to Dallas," she said. "I don't know what I'll do, but I'm going home, for sure!"

Ahhh ha. Now Jesse can go back and tell Jason how great Melissa's new guy is. I'm assuming he saw/met him at DWTS.

It's nice to see Melissa's parents in the audience supporting her on DWTS...I think they realized what a joke the whole season of The Bachelor really was turning out to be and wanted no part of such a farce. I say they are the smart ones...bravo to Mr. and Mrs. Rycroft!!!

I haven't been able to read a lot and keep up with all the Melissa news, so I have a couple of questions and forgive me if it's been discussed.

1 - has anything been said about her ring yet?(I know after the first week, it was mentioned on Access Hollywood or one of those shows, and they commented on it, but didn't they didn't know if it was engagement or what)

2- what is her lower back tattoo of?I wonder why they always bedazzle it? Surely she can't be the only one on there that's had a lower back tat. Plus there's makeup that can cover tattoos really well.

I have seen articles mentioning the ring but nothing definite about it. Somewhere here there is a close up of the ring and it does not look like an engagement ring at all, IMO.

I am not sure about the tatoo either. I thought it was 'True Love' or something like that. I have wondered too why bedazzle it (good way to put it) instead of just leaving it alone or using body makeup. Maybe she added Jason's name shortly after the engagement and she is afraid super sleuths (some of which we have here, lol) would magnify it for all to see in pictures. Nah. Surely she is too smart to put his name on her body!

Kitties, while I am thinking of it, I wanted to let you know I enjoy you're posts and am glad you have become more active here. The ring, it hasn't been discussed here, but I saw a close up and it is of a little heart. I bet that her boyfriend gave it to her, but I doubt it's an engagement ring. Like True said, it doesn't look like one.

Maybe the tattoo is covered because it's not the image she would want to project on DWTS. Not to mention her parents, maybe she hides it from them! It's one of those that Will Kirby calls a "tramp stamp" right? That go across the small of the lower back? I will have to take a better look. I can't believe how popular tattoo's have gotten the past several years.

Thank you.

Yes - lower back tattoos have been called "tramp stamps" for quite sometime. Before Dr Will said it

If she wanted to hide it, there's makeup out there just for that - covering up tattoos. The beddazling it just draws more attention to it IMO. Mind you, I have no issue with it either way. I like tattoos and at one time (several years ago) was going to get a small one on my lower back. That was until I started hearing it being called a tramp stamp.

I was just curious about it, and thought maybe they showed it on The Bachelor at some point.

Interesting about the ring. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention and that she hasn't been asked about it. I don't think it's engagement either. I did hear at some point it was a birthstone ring. But not sure how accurate that was.

Thanks for posting that video, petite! I had never seen this one...You can tell how much Melissa and Tony get along and have a great relationship/rapport!

I know, they look like they've become such good friends and are so comfortable around each other. And it's so cute how Melissa teases him. I think she got the perfect partner for her. I'm really glad she didn't get paired with Maks.
